We lost Sienna this year shortly after second birthday and just weeks after winning Best in Show at the South Western Boxer Open show.
We miss her greatly, not just for the promise she showed in the show ring but mostly because of her beautiful temperament and the fact she was such a joy to show and to live with.
Sienna was one of the most consistent winners of 2006 and the youngest qualifier for this years Mancunican Pup of the Year.
In her short but sucessful career, she won;
Irish Boxer Ch. - V Feaver - 2nd MPB
Midland Counties Ch. - T Nethercott - 1st MPB+BPB
South Wales Boxer Ch. - T Hutchings - 1st PB+BPB

There will always be a place in our hearts for Fred not just for being our
first Boxer champion but also for being such a gentleman and for being such a
fabulous dog to have owned. He died in October 2005 just shy of his eleventh birthday.
Freddie won his first ,first place at his 1st show in Windsor. He went on to win over 40 1st prizes at Championship level including Crufts.
He won 4 CC's, 2 Best of Breeds and 4 RCC's. He represented Burnden twice at Cotwold Dog of the Year. He is the 'cover boy' for Boxer Quarterly November 1998.
He has sired several Championship show winners including one champion.
Fen was our first Challenge Certificate winner and like Delilah would have shown all day every day and also died too young!
She won many championship show firsts including Crufts, 2 Challenge Certificates and the KCJO stakes working group at Crufts (Judged on the dogs merits by
a championship show all rounder). She also won prizes in Agility and Obedience.
Fen had one litter to Ch. Santanoaks Robbie Redcoat. She is the Great, great, great, great granddam of our newest pups!
Rufus started his puppy career well winning Best Puppy in Show at the Mancunian Boxer, he went on to be one of the top puppies of 1991. He went on to win 1 CC and 2 res CC's. He lived to a ripe old age and died in the arms of the person most important to him, Denise, up until now her favourite dog of all time.
Delilah won well as a puppy and into junior, unfortunately the foot and mouth outbreak saw that her career was put on hold and when she returned to
the show ring it was short lived as she was mated soon after to Ch Roamaro Fun in the Sun at Walkon producing Burnden Playing the Game.
She also had a beautiful litter to Ch Winuwuk Lust in the Dust producing a Crufts qualifing dog who we exported to Spain.
We lost 'lil in March 2004 to Cancer but we are lucky to have had her in our lives for a short time and thank her for what she has left us.
